Turnaround at the End of the Pavement

The story

This road only goes back the way it came, about eight miles. Pull into those four pullouts and they'll talk. At the highway, go left for Torrey, or right for the petroglyphs, Hickman Bridge and Hanksville, with no gas for thirty-seven miles. The tour picks up on its own.
